Nice Dream, But its never going to happen. There's only one Big Go guys.

Re: Las Vegas National Event, Indy of The West
 

I disagree we there could be A big Go east and A big Go of The West > I even suspect that a sportsman racer could know of or have a contact to sponsor the Big Go Of the West. The Big Shoot out of the West at Vegas

I have been dreaming of this type of event for years.. Only draw back is we would probably need 8 grade points or better to enter.

NHRA is consistently cutting back on sportsman quota at the national events. They have almost no tech or tear down either. this is a bad thing that is going on now. There are lots of racers that would like to attend national events that cant get in any more because the quota is so low. The gators is running class and they only are letting 65 cars. There is over a hundred super stock classes so there might not be many class run offs. NHRA is out of touch with the racers. Your idea is a great one and I wish it could happen. Maybe do it at the divisional.

Re: Las Vegas National Event, Indy of The West
 

Maybe limit entry to say only cars from Divisions 4-5-6-7 first ----if it does not fill up then let any racers from any division the chance to enter until it is full make the "quotas" realistic too--- OR--- ALL run first round til you get to a 64 car field---good or bad idea?? FED 387

Don racing with no penalty is called a National Open. Go as fast as you want.
We do it 3 times a year in D1.

Re: Las Vegas National Event, Indy of The West
 

Let me know how the conversation goes, Don.

NHRA would rather have the place half empty.

Re: Las Vegas National Event, Indy of The West
 

What if...
NHRA made it special (yeah, I'm dreaming), special one- off Wally (crystal?), a special Sportsman only dragster, TV like D-3TV, top end interviews

Entry fees like high $ bracket races, have to give NHRA a big cut to agree to this, maybe $1000 to enter, (not bad in my opinion given $50-$100k plus cars)....winner take all

Be creative on schedule, use NHRA event for qualifying, run regular NHRA EVENT, then bring the field out late late night, Sat or Sunday, round robin, or......gotta go take some meds
